Answer 1

Answer:

B) bait-and-switch advertising.

Explanation:

Bait-and-switch advertising is considered illegal in the US and many other countries. It happens when a business advertises the sale of a product at a very low price, but when the customers arrive at the store looking for the product, it is no longer available. Instead the store's salespeople offer the customers similar products but at a much higher price.
